MEMORIES OF WORLD WAR II
BY
SAM FINDLEY

FORWARD

One of the truly great eras in the history of the United States of America was that of WWII. Soon all those who lived during this time will be gone. Those who served in the Armed Forces of our nation are dying at the rate of thousands per day and most all now living are in their late 70’s or 80’s. As one who lived and served during this era I have written this account of my memories to pass on to my grandchildren and anyone who may be interested in reading it.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I owe many thanks to my dear cousin, Martha Smith for proof reading my draft and for her encouragement and suggestions for improvement to the text. I especially thank her for the copies of the letters she saved that were written to her by my brother, relatives, and me during our service in the Armed Forces.
